From the creators of "The Little Mermaid" and "Aladdin" comes a modern twist on a classic tale, featuring a beautiful girl named Tiana, a frog prince who desperately wants to be human again, and a fateful kiss that leads them both on a hilarious adventure through the mystical bayous of Louisiana.

Most of The Princess and the Frog looks more like one of Disney's straight-to-DVD sequels than like their animated classics, and the few big, fun musical set-pieces are brought down by second-rate songwriting.

Randy Newman's songs are a little too blandly Randy Newman-ish and the story is uneven, but there are some great characters, some even better jokes, a general sense of good humour and that entrancing, eye-ravishing old-school animation.

The rest should still have a hard time getting bored with the lovely characters, colorful set pieces and catchy Jazz songs, but adults and boys probably expect a little more edge in their films. Especially the story is somewhat generic, from the protagonist's dilemma to the villain and the cute sidekicks. If you've seen more than three Disney films in your time you will find it hard to be surprised at any point throughout this film. That doesn't mean it isn't well done, offers a few laughs and decent entertainment. Kids will certainly love it.

I swear most people think Walt Disney wrote most fairytales, so it's nice to see them bucking that trend. There is also a level of maturity to this story, I'm generally anti-Disney but I thought this one was quite good.

I prefer 2D animation to 3D and have always thought that Disney did it better when they did it old school. Aside from the throw back to the old animantion style, it was genuinely refreshing to see the heroine of the story (who stereotypically did become a princess at the end, as we all expected) was a well rounded, hard working woman with the independence and drive to actually do something rather than sleep all day in a tower waiting for her happily ever after to come looking for her. I loved all the characters, as well as the music and setting. A very close to perfect film for me.

This is such a bad adaption of the story and runs a fine line between blatantly racist and playful stereotypes. I mean I love cute little frogs, but it was not enough to make me enjoy the movie. The best thing about it was the visuals and maybe Keith David's voodoo witch doctor character. There was too much singing ( the songs weren't even good) and not enough of what makes Disney movies genuinely good.

The songs are not memorable and the villain is extraordinarily cartoonish and therefore weak.

The Princess and the Frog is a magnificent and ambitious animation from Walt Disney. I find that a lot of animated family movies almost beg you to like them. This one just had me loving it from the start. There was a whole lot going on, but it wasn't a mess. It was just a well executed fairytale. Everyone knows the story of the princess and the frog, even the characters in this movie. They listened to their parents read it to them when they were little kids. Now they are living it.
The movie has a really cool setting in New Orleans at the start of the 20th century. The film has voodoo as a central building block for the entire plot. The villain, Shadowman, is perfect. From the way he talks, to the way he looks; that character is flawless. It also has the annoying character, every animated movie seems to need in the spoiled rich girl who dreams of being a princess.†
The main character, Tiana, is extremely easy to like. She is a hard working, young woman, who just wants to see her dead fathers dream of having his own restaurant come true. All she does is work and save in order to get her own restaurant. She learns some valuable lessons in the movie, though, that show her that her father wouldn't want her to work her whole life away.†
The Princess and the Frog is on a very short list of great animated films of the 21st century that I have seen. So far, it's Wall-E, Toy Story 3, Ponyo and this. It's a perfect family film because it's going to keep kids entertained for the duration, but it's also not torture for the adults either. Actually, it's quite a fun little movie too watch from time to time.
